    Same here, 5 studios across 3 continents, all suddenly stopped being able to access Max files on dropbox.  It used to work and now doesn't. So its either a Dropbox, Autodesk or Microsoft issue. 

    Autodesk at least acknowledge it as an problem but as usual refuse to take responsibility and just suggest its user error.

      take off read-only option on the main root folder properties and it may solve the problem for some of you

        Tried that already, same problem.

        We are currently migrating over to SharePoint & OneDrive as this isn't an issue on Microsoft's platform, works flawlessly.

        You (Dropbox) are going to loose all of out licences over this one small issue, very silly of you.
